The New Chief Leadership Symposium (NCLS) offers new and prospective chiefs the executive level skills and knowledge they need to succeed early on in their tenure. Only the IAFC provides a custom program where 3-5 bugle chiefs can build a strong knowledge-base for managing their fire department.

At the New Chief Leadership Symposium you'll:

Learn tools and tactics for dealing with your many bosses and the political scene

Gain the skills necessary to be an outstanding chief executive in your department, community and the fire service

I took away a new understanding of what it takes to build a successful leadership team and gained new appreciation of department politics. NCLS has enhanced my ability to manage the daily operations of the department.
